Alpha Sigma-University of California-Berkeley

Recruitment

The Alpha Sigma Chapter at Cal is the 42nd oldest of over 200 chapters and colonies in the United States and Canada. The 6 founders formed the fraternity with the beliefs of the establishment of friendship on a firm and lasting basis, the promotion of brotherly love and kind feeling, and the mutual benefit and advancement of the interests of those that are deemed worthy. Today Pike has grown to be one the biggest international fraternities and has maintained the largest average chapter size and pledge class size for most of the last 20 years.

Founded in 1912, the chapter was one of the few houses that remained active throughout the Depression, World War II, and the 1960’s antiestablishment period. Our particular chapter is the first Pike house established west of the Mississippi River and North of the Mason Dixon Line, and has been recognized as one of the more groundbreaking chapters. We have stood out many times in doing many of the “firsts” of any Pike chapter, we have a very rich and interesting history.
